  • E-Books: Understanding the Basics June 2009 by Jane Lee, California Digital Library
    E-books: Understanding the Basics June 2009 by Jane Lee, California Digital Library What exactly is an e-book anyway? Before we can talk about ebooks and the issues surrounding them, we must define what an e- book is. This is not as easy as one may think. Although e-books appear in headlines with regular frequency these days, there is still confusion about what exactly an e-book is that makes it difficult to focus on the real issues. For many people, especially in the last few years, an e-book is a handheld device whose main purpose is to look and act like a book. For others, an e-book is a book that one can read on one’s computer. And for a growing number of people, an e-book is something that you can read on your PDA, smartphone, iPod, etc. E-books made their first big splash on the market a decade ago, but they didn’t quite catch on with the general public. PDAs were taking a foothold, and companies began developing software that allowed people to read books on them. Subscription services for e-books – NetLibrary, for example – have been available to library patrons who have access to the required platform. The first dedicated, handheld electronic reading device, the Rocket ebook, made its appearance in 19981, but it wasn’t until the release of the Sony Reader and Amazon’s Kindle that e-book readers seemed commercially viable2. The arguments and questions about e-books – about their past, present, and future – that people formulate are shaped by how they define e-books for themselves.

Martina Brajković ABSTRACT Electronic books are electronic copy of a book or a book-length digital publication. In the past decade they have become very popular and widely used. Each day more and more publishers digitalize their textbooks and more and more devices are suitable for reading of the electronic books. Huge changes in human communication happened in the late 20th and early 21st century. Due to invention of Internet, information became widely available which changed every segment of human life, especially education. One of the most important applications of electronic books is electronic learning. Electronic learning includes various types of media, such as video, audio, text, images and animations. Interactivity of an electronic book can increase the attention in the classroom and result with better educational performance In this work the process of creation of an interactive electronic book is researched and analyzed. The process includes use of popular Adobe software: InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Captivate and Edge Animate.

  • Introduction to Ebooks and Ebook Readers
    An Introduc+on to eBooks and eReaders January 26, 2010 4-6 pm Barnstable High School eBooks eBook is short for electronic book. They are essen4ally electronic or digital copies of printed books and normally follow the format of their printed counterpart with table of contents, chapters, and index. However not all eBooks are found in printed form. Some authors and publishers are choosing to only offer versions of their work in eBook format because they are easier to update and maintain than tradi4onal printed texts. eBooks are not as new as most people think. In 1971 Michael S Hart began Project Gutenberg. The goal of Project Gutenberg was to preserve historical and cultural works in digital format. Volunteers take the 4me to scan or type in the text of books. Since these books and wri4ngs are in the public domain they can be freely shared and distributed. For example you may buy Jane Aus4n’s books, which are in the public domain, in paperback or read them for free in digital format. Early distribu4on of eBooks was via websites for reading on a computer (the technology was not yet available for download) or via CD where the user could copy the book on to their personal computer. eBooks have certain advantages over their printed counter parts. Most eBooks can be: searched, bookmarked, immediately downloaded, highlighted, and more are becoming interac4ve. Your eBook library is easily portable and you can store your en4re library on your desktop, laptop, smart phone, mobile device or eReader. To enable you to read eBooks on your computer or mobile device you will need eBook reading soVware.
